I wanted to stay true to my country storytelling roots but introduce some pop R&B vocal and production elements… ‘It’s Too Late’ is a song about being with someone you really like and trying to tell yourself you need to take it slow but realizing it’s already too late for that and you are all in.”

Speaking about the track, she shares: “We wrote this song over two years ago, and the second the title was said out loud, we all just knew… that was it. It came from those moments in life where something happens and the only way to explain it is, ‘that was a God thing.’”

The song captures the exhaustion, disbelief, and chaos of realising the love you’re giving isn’t wanted, with a chorus that makes the unraveling fully visible: “I turn into a wreck, a nasty mess / Mascara dripping, big hair flippin’ party bitch / I drink too much wine, I stay up all night / I’m a different woman when you’re roaming / Yeah I’m losing my mind to the looney bin.” Listen to ‘Looney Bin’ below…
